- access to the files of the murga forum ! ! !
(Is this possible? Any Suggestion/Idea?)

Are you still interested in that option?

The most convinient solution would be if there is (somewhere?) an index file of all forum attachments.
I was hoping someone knows something about this mysterious index and will post some info, but apparently noone knows.

In this case the only option I see is to create one.
This exemplary script should do that task, but it'll take a really long time since the first attachment ever seems to have id=100 and, for instance, your LazY-FReD.pet has id=58993.
(If anyone knows faster way than utilized by me - let us know).
Second thing - attachments aren't only .pet, .sfs, etc. there are also pictures and (this will be difficult to filter) fake extensions (mostly .gz).
The script, as it stands, doesn't filter them in any way.
Third thing - there's a lot of missing attachments.
Try to set COUNT=5500 to see several of them in a row.
Currently the script handles that manually, but it'd be more reasonable to set a given upper limit and skip the missing ones automatically.

Currently running your script and looks like it needs hours to get the whole list.

But i think, it should be ok, to create the whole list once (maybe a bit sorted out), split this list into parts (let's say lists of 1000 files in each list) and then only from time to time getting the last 100 files. If any older one changes or will get lost and download fails - doesn't matter.

Maybe list of 100 files will be better - don't know, how many objects can be used in gtkdialog.

Anyway...

...thank you for the script. It will be very useful to get that feature into the LazY FReD and to make it well rounded.

Very nice tool, by the way. Congrats!

Thanks. I think, it's the best application i ever wrote for puppy os and wherein st90's two lines back-end code could find its place ("bestens aufgehoben" - as we say in German).

Greetings

P.S.

Getting around 1000 files in about 12 minutes, so it might take somewhat around 12 hours (if i would skip every missed attachement immediately by key "s".

This one is the address of the database of murga-linux.com - or better say of a database entry
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=

Each entry of Database must have more information - not only attach&id
Information is shown here
Must be something like (don't know it though):
- attach&id&description
- attach&id&filename
- attach&id&filesize
- attach&id&downloaded

Must be a structure similar to a record in PASCAL and must also use id to make sure to show the correct data.

So, it would be good to know how to get this information (how the access point is really called (named) inside the record).

Also would be good to know if there is more information available f.e. like the forum, where it has been attached.
Might be something like
- attach&id&forum

If so, then it could be sorted in categories like multimedia, graphics etc.pp. That would be very nice.

So, anyone any suggestion/idea/knowledge on that issue? Please post it!

I will post this also in the Programming forum

Currently 6407 files detected at http://murga-linux.com - and counting (did make comments out of the skip/break functions)_________________LazY PuppyRSH's DNASARA B.

Here it is (i do use German form instead of US form (we use "." to mark 1000s)):

- Index of first file: 100
- Index of last file: 59.159

- Number of all files: 59.059

- Number of lines in index file: 43.059

- Difference: 16.000

So as a first result, we have to accept, that murga-forum has lost 16.000 attached files!

Or in other words: 27,091 % of all files are lost (US form: 27.091%)
.
I will write now a script to sort this list into different lists, each for every file type (sfs, pet, archives (excluding .gz because of the fake .gz files), images etc.pp).

Sorry - I meant the whole of Germany. It seems like you use the comma where we use the point and vice versa - Also you drive on the wrong side of the road... (I'm just joking of course...no offense intended...)

I appreciate the application Lazyred and I believe that this utility could soon be present in the majority of puplets.
In the meantime, I would modestly suggest some changes / developments ...

1 - With small screens (800x600), it is difficult to use because LazyFred GUI is too broad. Ideally, we should reorganize the interface to reduce the space needed when viewing the screen. This makes me think that Ziggy had done with the PPM Puppy.

2 - Users often struggle to understand how to use the application, in particular the update servers (and display of available packages). Is it possible to improve this? Not easy, because it involves automating the update of the display when changing server, I do not know but I'm a novice GTK.

In all cases, LazyFred is a great idea!

Thank you HSN.

Hello, ASRI éducation.

I'm sorry, bu I've now worked for about 16 Months almost every day several hours and sometimes up to 40 hours in a row on LazY Puppy and all "my" applications on the forum. I think, I need a break. I have to take a break.

A long term break from coding, working on the forum and also working on LazY Puppy. This might take a few months where I have to do different stuff from puppy - except: I want to use LazY Puppy, finally, within these break from coding etc.
